Thank you
Thanks for visiting my blog...glad you found it interesting, and I hope you'll be back often. As it happens, I am also a huge fan of JRR Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings...have read the trilogy many times, and loved the movies...I was especially pleased with the way the Rohirrim's charge at the Pelennor Fields was filmed...I could watch Bernard Hill as Theoden ride down the front of his army and lead three cheers of "DEATH!" a million times and not get tired of it. Great blog...keep it up! Best wishes, Bilbo.
